(54) Electrical outlet system


(57) A mains electrical connection system has male (100) and female (110) coupler fittings that make electrical connections after entry of contacts (31) from one fitting into the other and relative linear movement of the fittings. Those electrical connections are displaced from entries (27, 28) for the contacts (31) and thus safe from finger access. Further intercouplings are also shown (55, 56) with same taking at least most of mechanical loading from attempts to separate. One projection (55) for the latter purpose is used for earth connections. Cased socket units and plugs units are disclosed for incorporation into electrical outlet/connection accessories as desired.
